This document is posted regularly to comp.lang.perl.announce and several other related newsgroups.
It is available in a variety of formats from CPAN in the /CPAN/doc/FAQs/FAQ/ directory,
or on the web at http://www.perl.com/perl/faq/ .

You may mail corrections,
additions,
and suggestions to perlfaq-suggestions@perl.com .
This alias should not be used to ask FAQs.
It's for fixing the current FAQ.
Send questions to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup.

Your questions will probably go unread,
unless they're suggestions of new questions to add to the FAQ,
in which case they should have gone to the perlfaq-suggestions@perl.com instead.

You should have read section 2 of this faq.
There you would have learned that comp.lang.perl.misc is the appropriate place to go for free advice.
If your question is really important and you require a prompt and correct answer,
you should hire a consultant.

When I first began the Perl FAQ in the late 80s,
I never realized it would have grown to over a hundred pages,
nor that Perl would ever become so popular and widespread.
This document could not have been written without the tremendous help provided by Larry Wall and the rest of the Perl Porters.
